Transmission Single of the Year - Metronomy "The Look"

Tonight and next Thursday at 10pm Transmission will be playing a handful of the songs that made the dance floor buzz, car drive just a bit faster and the iPod stay on repeat.

There will be a master list posted at the end of the year (in a week), but for now I welcome you to tune in and enjoy the impressive amounts of fantastic music that was created in 2011.

As for "The Look" by Metronomy being Transmission's "Single of the Year"...it earned it. The song has barely received any radio play in the states, but I can play this track now between a New Order and a Cut Copy song and it'll keep the floor packed. It holds down just the right amount of synth-pop, Brit-pop & new wave characteristics that make it uniquely a Transmission favorite.

If you dig it, I recommend picking up their 2011 release "The English Riviera".

Looking forward to bringing you tonight's show!
